Education

A school district cannot function without bus drivers. The best teachers, the best curriculum and the best facilities are all pointless without students, and in the Carroll County School District, about 1,000 students arrive at their school each day on one of the district’s buses. Unfortunately, like many school districts across the state, Carroll is facing a bus driver shortage.

While January is a time to make resolutions for the calendar year, August is a time to set goals for the school year. Students are in their first days of new classes, teachers and routines, and the year is still young. However, just as many New Year’s resolutions are broken, many goals for the school year end up left on the table, unachieved.

Added to the start of a new school year, new classes for students and new routines for parents is yet another beginning: the official start of the implementation phase of the Carroll County School District’s five-year strategic plan.

A group of community members and district personnel completed a months-long strategic planning process earlier this year. The result of that process is a blueprint for making the Carroll County School District as efficient and effective as possible when it comes to helping students succeed.
